Old Times

I was reading through my old blog that I started to document the China stay and I realized that I was writing much more ‘content’ then now (which is turning out to be quite a pictorial blog….)

Randomly picked a few entries and found the ‘scrapbook of memories in China”. This was documented at the end of the 2 years, can safely say that it is quite an accurate summary J

Can we do a similar post of “Singapore Snapshots”?
